Poliquin products are now labeled PQN. Same formulas. Same quality. New name.

Description

In the ideal world, we would be able to easily digest and absorb all the nutrients from our food and feel great while doing it. Modern life is not so simple. Due to stress, aging, medication use, GI diseases, poor diets, and heavy training loads many people have compromised digestion.

For example, the high cortisol levels that accompany chronic stress prevent the body from transitioning into the “rest and digest” mode that allows for absorption of nutrients. Aging also weakens the digestive system. The natural production of digestive enzymes declines one percent every three years after the age of thirty.

Naturally produced enzymes play a primary role in your ability to breakdown food and absorb nutrients. These enzymes are released by the pancreas; however, many factors can impair your innate production. When this happens, food is incompletely digested, which can lead to bloating, gas, and stomach discomfort after eating. It also puts you at risk of developing a food allergy or celiac disease.

Enzyme Full Spectrum restores these gaps in the body’s supply of enzymes.*  The 13 enzymes support digestion of protein and fats as well as hard-to-digest carbohydrates, including beans, grains, and fibrous vegetables.*  It also supplies inflammation-fighting turmeric to counter oxidative stress that harms the gastrointestinal tract.*

This formula differs from other products that focus on one or two different enzymes by supplying the full range of enzymes needed for optimal digestion and elimination of waste products in one.*  Enzymes also support immune function.*  Protease enzymes squelch harmful proteins that are found in unwanted bacteria, reducing risk of infection.*  Supplementary enzymes may also spare the body’s natural enzyme reserves, aiding organ regeneration.*

• Chymotrypsin and Trypsin break down proteins for better absorption. Supplementation can improve healing from an injury due to better resolution of inflammation.*
• Serratiopeptidase Complex breaks down proteins and helps counter inflammation by dissolving damaged tissue that is a byproduct of healing.*
• Bromelain supports digestion of proteins and acts as an anti-inflammatory in the case of soft tissue injury.*
• Papain comes from papaya and breaks down protein, carbohydrates, and fat. It has been used as a treatment for indigestion, reducing symptoms of constipation and bloating.*
• Protease Complex supports bread down and absorption of proteins. It aids digestion of gluten peptides and has been used as a therapy for celiac disease.*
• Pepsin helps separate vitamin B12 from protein for absorption and plays a role in the digestion of nucleic acids that are a component of DNA.*
• Amylase facilitates the digestion of carbohydrates and can reduce gut discomfort from consumption of hard-to-digest, high-fiber vegetables and legumes.*
• Pectinase helps break down the fibrous cell walls of plants. It also facilitates the production of butyrate, which promotes gut health and may reduce risk of metabolic diseases.*
• Lipase breaks down fat, supporting absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Supplementation may reduce feelings of fullness, bloating and nausea after eating.*
• Ox Bile helps digest fats, especially in the case of gall bladder removal. Supplementation may help prevent gallstone formation and support the liver in the case of liver disease.*
• Pancreatin enables digestion and absorption of fat, carbohydrate, and protein. Supplementation is important when the pancreas is compromised, as in pancreatic insufficiency.*
• Rutin is an antioxidant that protects the gastrointestinal tract from inflammation.*
• Turmeric Root Extract counters inflammation in the GI tract and improves gastric acid secretion. It has been used to support GI disorders, including IBS, ulcers, and dyspepsia.*
